from one installation, sharing data and content.<br/><br/>

<b>How does Multisite work?</b><br/>
Joomla Multisite uses mySQL views and small core modifications to determine 
the url accessing the joomla installation. <br/>Sharing between site's tables is 
done via mySQL views.<br/> For component or extension sharing users can push 
new tables between installations using the sync feature.<br/><br/>
<b>How to install and configure Joomla Multisite</b><br/>

From the component's main screen, multisites can be deleted, edited, added and synced.<br/><br/>

<img src="components/com_multisite/images/new.png"><br/>
The add multisite screen allows you to specify basic information for the new site and
pick an admin username/password. <br/>It also allows you to install sample data. These are
all similar options to the Joomla installer.<br/><br/>

<img src="components/com_multisite/images/edit.png"><br/>
The edit multisite screen allows you to edit the table options for a given multisite.<br/>
You can choose to point a table to another site, which will create a view to that table.<br/>
This will share that particular site's table with the site you are currently editing.<br/>
Choosing standalone will keep the tables seperate. <br/>Editing these settings may be difficult
if you do not understand what they do, <br/>we tried to write a small description next to each
table with its purpose and what feature set it belongs to.<br/><br/>

<img src="components/com_multisite/images/sync.png"><br/>
The sync multisite screen allows you to sync the selected site with the others. <br/>This will
take the selected site's tables and update all other sites with this structure.<br/> So new tables 
that are in your selected site will be created on sites that do not have them. <br/>Sites that have
tables that are not present in your selected site will have those tables dropped.
